Restoration Volunteers

Restoration volunteers cut, stack and chip or burn invasive trees
and shrubs and eradicate aggressively invasive vascular plants, such
as garlic mustard, which crowd out native woodland plants. Other
groups of volunteers collect and sow seeds, usually on weekdays in
the spring and fall. Still others help with prescribed burns to
control regrowth of invasive species.

Bring gloves and loppers or clippers if you have them. If not,
borrow ours. Be sure to wear long pants and close-toed shoes.

Work Parties

Work parties meet the third Saturday of the month to pull invasives, cut brush, or gather seed. Specific work will be
announced by email before the work date. Additional dates are
added throughout the season.

Volunteers should meet at the Pheasant Branch Dane County Parking
lot (fire number 4864, labeled "County lot"
on this
online map) 1.2 miles north of Century Avenue on Pheasant Branch
Road, unless instructed otherwise.
